Escaping Google's manual reputation penalty and resuming business as usual (recleudo.com)
We’ve already seen how Finixio/Clickout’s assets were hit with serious penalties in the days following Google’s algorithm update. I have no idea whether those penalties were manual, or algorithmically applied, though I have a hunch they were manual. But they destroyed the ranking of pages that funnelled, collectively, millions of visits a month into a network of gambling and crypto sites.

Google, the search engine that's forgotten how to search (semking.com)
If you work in the SEO industry, you may be blinded by the lights. The noise can be deafening. You may trust most of Google’s official statements. Many in the search community blindly believe Google but I’m glad not everyone does.

I tried to buy a guest post on TechCrunch.com (techcrunch.com)
A few times per day, I get a message that asks something along the lines of: “How much do you charge for a guest article on TechCrunch?” People are trying to get inbound links from TechCrunch for SEO reasons. The theory is: A link from TechCrunch gives your site trustworthiness in the eyes of Google, and so it’s worth doing. But is that what’s really happening here?

The Post-Jamstack Era: Just Use Rails (judoscale.com)
Let’s talk about ‘static sites’ / ‘public sites’ / ‘marketing websites’ — whatever you might call them in your organization. It’s your façade. Your company’s digital face. Where all of your SEO juice pours in and you hope that Google indexes favorably! That project that you probably don’t touch all that often, probably don’t want to, and yet somehow get co-oped into fully rebuilding every 2-3 years (why is that?!). You’re reading this on ours right now 😁.
